Help Please! :(

[A-LEX]

Hi guys, I just received a call from service and I got a bad news! I took my IS to get clutch replacement and now they say I also need to replace flywheel which costs here in Belgrade 1200 euros!!! I cant believe that its that much, on a almost 10 year car!!! Did anybody had to change flywheel because of clutch and how much did it cost? If you can please give me some links so I can try to get it over here. Thanks a lot!

This is just the first site i found, maybe better deals if really shopping around

Backs up the price as you've been quoted, pretty much the same!!!

I know some people dont like using second hand parts, but getting one off a newer year / low milage is200 (as this listing says all years are the same) from a breakers, not be an option?????

Altough most will still give the Judder that we all suffer from!!

if you cant find a used one would just buy a lightweight one.

Thanks m8! I don't know, there are not that many IS here so again I will have to look over the border which is very frustrating! I saw recently somebody had same problem and got some copy of flywheel for the same price of clutch. I will have to check that otherwise I am done with the Lexus, its too much for 10 yr old car.

Thanks a lot

Be patient, there are alot more guy's that are probably still to read of your problem, and sure some-one may have more options for you!!!!!

You can buy aftermarket flywheels for about half the price of the Lexus one, e.g. at Prolex.

Or you could try and get a used one from a breaker's.

Thanks, does anybody have this type of flywheel? Experiences? Thnx :)

Why does it need changing?

How bad was your clutch when you changed it?

Mine was warped and crap but the flywheel just needed refacing and its fine.

It was slipping little , and smart mechanics told me after service that they cleaned my injectors and I should put some additives and try to get it more clean. I told them that sometimes its not pulling right and they test drive it! So I was flying with my car and it turned that my clutch is slipping but not to the point that I cannot drive. When I got new clutch they told me the flywheel has little some click sound when moved to the right. So the mechanic said I can put it but I think your clutch It will be gone around 10k again... :(
